How many times?
I think I have played the OC and MOTB three times apiece. Once for the walkthroughs I wrote for GameSpot, and then a couple times each after that with different characters.

I think I only played SOZ front to back once, but I played it piecemeal during development multiple times, so I'm not sure how to count that one.

How many times?

I only play story based games once. Then uninstall them and move on. That applies to NWN2. I only play each OC/expansion once. I do however play SP modules from the vault, once each of course, which is why NWN2 will not get uninstalled once I finish SoZ and MoW.

The way I see it, no story is ever good enough to be replayed over a story I have yet to play. And there are always more stories to be played, since the world produces them faster than I can consume them. That is not limited to NWN2 or even games in general, it applies to everything I am into (movies, TV, books, comic books, etc.)

That's an interesting philosophy to take, especially in the case of movies and other short media. I can see not wanting to play through an 80-hour RPG twice, but there are plenty of movies and books out there that I have only really enjoyed after watching or reading them two or three times. Not that I'm disagreeing with you. Personally I have a hard time finding authors that I enjoy reading (I'm super picky), so I stick with my faves and re-read their books for the most part.

Summoner PCs now possible
That is definitely cool. What's interesting is that the mod was just uploaded, but the video on Youtube is a year old?

In search of default listbox row names, help request.
I'll see if a programmer might know the answer to this...no guarantees I'll get any replies, though.
